A great read.....while an infantry soldier in Vietnam, I often envied the helicopter pilots with their cold beer and clean??? sheets. My outlook changed while convalescing at Brooke Army Medical Center after being wounded. Most of my burn ward fellow patients were chopper pilots, and the horror of their experiences stays with me today. There is no braver group of people than Vietnam chopper pilots...Mark hits the mark with his "young, dumb. and fearless" description. They always gave us (Infantry) their best, and their actions will never be forgotten as long as Vietnam Infantry soldiers are still around. As a disclaimer, although I haven't seen him since, I attended grade school and high school with Mark, and was one of the many from that group that ended up in Vietnam. I was commissioned as an Infantry Officer a couple of weeks after Mark was discharged, and started my tour in Vietnam in 1971. The war that kept on giving......! If you have any interest in the Vietnam War from the viewpoint of a combat helicopter pilot, buy this book: it's the real deal!!!
As a former Huey pilot in Vietnam (1966-67), I wanted to see what memories another chopper pilot retained after all those years. There have been other books written by former pilots of the Vietnam War and too many of them reflect rather large egos and exaggerated stories. Our stories seem to vary a good deal but it depends on what unit you were in. I flew slicks for the 1st Air Cav and we had our fair share of combat. Our living conditions were primitive with no hooches, hooch maids or officers clubs. Rather, we lived in tents, slept on bunks made from ammo boxes and had the privilege of outhouses (while the grunts slept on the ground and the great outdoors was their outhouse). We were a united brotherhood and that's the common ground of most pilots' stories. If you were a pilot, you will find technical mistakes and stories that there are a bit contrived but that is not to criticize this book. The Huey pilots (slicks or guns) saw the war mostly from above but on the ground (briefly) as we inserted and retrieved our grunts. The gunship drivers were a different breed, taking on any challenge in the face of certain fire. If you want to learn about the war from a gun pilot's perspective, I would recommend this book.
Having served in the same unit a year before Mark's tour of duty, it was a great way to reflect back and recall some similar stories of places and events that happened a half century ago. "Guts N' Gunships" is something that every Army helicopter pilot who flew in Vietnam can identify; the fears of going into the heart of the air war battle, the humor of pilots necessary to maintain their sanity, the sadness of losing close friends and brothers of war, and the day-to-day courage that it took to be a part of the "Helicopter War."This is a book that will not only be enjoyed by helicopter pilots, but also by the troops who served in the jungles and rice patties and to the families of these brave young men.
The author presents a point of view from the air that I can appreciate in that we were often the happy campers that these crazy bastards supported. He details the early training and the blossoming of skills that saved his tail and that of many others, in the air and on the ground. His deduction that the politicians were incompetent is accurate, and that the only genuine objective that most felt was to get as many Americans home...alive. One major shortcoming is that his personnel focus was centered on other pilots; the enlisted crew members seemed to be there but no focus of their actions, except in rare instances, and for some reason he did not cite them by name as he did the pilots. I can not understand the oversight of omitting them, because one is virtually nothing except for the efforts of your men. However, perhaps I have misread. He omits much of the drama of inserts and recoveries; each one could be expanded, but one can suppose that if you perform so many, they mingle into a steady stream of....boredom?? These airmen performed beyond human endurance, their courage rates up there with any single classical battle from Gettysburg to Guadalcanal to Pelilue to Iwo Jima to Normandy to Okinawa to the Battle of the Bulge.....and they did it month after month for 12 months. I have a brother-in-law, U.S. Air Force veteran, chopper crew chief out of Thailand and Vietnam 1966-1968 who is suffering mightily from PTSD to this day; I don't dare to send him a copy of this book, but I will send it to his two daughters so that they can better understand what a magnificent service he and others like him performed, because he would never tell them, especially about how he earned the Distinguished Flying Cross.Capt W. J. Clifford, USMC (Ret)VN Jul 1967- Aug 1968
Often, I've wondered what it was really like in Vietnam. Guts 'N Gunships fills a long-time communication gap about what the Vietnam Veterans endured for the rest of us Americans safe here at home. Mark has a way of introducing humor into otherwise serious situations. At the end of most chapters, I felt compelled to read more His descriptions made me feel as if I was sitting right next to him in that cockpit. What an adrenaline rush!! I never laughed so many belly laughs or had a need for so many kleenex in any book I've ever read, and that's a lot. Thank you Mark (Pigpen), for your courageous service in Vietnam and your lifetime of recovery. We're privileged to have you home!
